Surprised there hasn't been more talk about these.

On my Delica 4, the pocket clip hole goes around the lanyard hole as well (in tip-up carry). Just curious as to why this one isn't that way.

That is true for the FRN version, but the SS Delica 4 is made the same way as this titanium version.

I opted for the damascus nishijin stretch

You and me both! Can't wait for pics on that.


If any of you are dissatisfied with your Titanium Delica, I'd be MORE than happy to solve your problem....

The damascus on this delica reminds me of a tumultuous sea and I favor
its organic nature as oppose to other damascus that are too ordered and
symmetric.

There is a visual energy about the damascus pattern on this delica and
when the light hits the shiny sections- it adds another delightful point of
interest.

The fact that the patterns don't match on both sides of the blade further
lends to its organic nature. Think of it this way: get bored of looking at
one side, just flip it over and enjoy another view.

The shine of the straight edge is a stark contrast to the pattern that
precedes it, but not completely foreign because of the shiny sections on
the damascus.

The clean and unornate ti handles work with the damascus blade, this
contrast in simplicity allows the damascus to be featured. I'm glad that
it is a full stock; not one with liners like in the Spyderco Ti Lum.

I don't like that the hole on the clip doesn't line up with the lanyard hole
when positioned to tip-up carry. I had to switch it to tip-down carry.

Hm, these pictures -- especially the OP, have made me change my mind on this run. At first I wasn't sure about the Ti/dama matchup, but man, those look great... except for the pocket clip holes. Come on, do we really need 4-way holes on this? IMO they ruin the elegance of the handles -- especially since if I got one I'd wear it clipless.

I'm a fan of the damascus pattern, though. Although my favorite damascus Spydie is probably the damascus/CF Caly 3
